Our Trust

At the heart of our Catholic Multi-Academy Trust is a mission that shapes everything we do. Inspired by the witness of St Gabriel the Archangel, we are forming Christ-centred pilgrims of hope with kind hearts, questioning minds, a thirst for knowledge, and a hunger for justice. These characteristics are lived out in our schools, they shape our culture, leadership, teaching, and our community.  St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Multi-Academy Trust is a family of 63 schools working together to provide high-quality, faith-filled education to every child we serve.
